Hi, Keith. Unlike yourself, I've not converted to 4K yet. I'm still quite happy with the blu-ray format. Having said that, your 4K clip of Evil Dead looks outstanding. All of your movie choices were spot on. Classics, all of them. 👍
Hey David. I still do love the Blu-ray format and I still buy a lot of movies on Blu-ray. I don't praise it's nearly enough as I should. The top 10 in this video I do stick by and all of them I honestly think have monster upgrades over there Blu-ray counterparts. As for the movies themselves like you said absolute classics and I'm so fortunate to have them in my collection. Thanks for stopping by and checking the video out my friend
Wow that is so kind of you to say Roy and I really do appreciate that. Can't wait to show off the fog comparisons. You won't believe the difference. Thanks again Roy
Hey Jordan thanks so much for the positive feedback. I really do appreciate it. All 10 of these movies are solid on 4k and definitely worth investing in. Thanks for checking it out my friend
Hey Mark. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant about putting hellfest into this list because I didn't know how people would take to it. But I have to admit this movie has a somewhat cult Following and I haven't heard a bad thing from anyone about it. Thank you so much for checking out the video. I really appreciate it
Hey Paul great minds think alike my friend. Cannot wait to get hold of dog soldiers especially with second sight behind it. Thanks again for checking out the video Paul
Long time subscriber, first time commenter. Really love your channel. Had so many awesome movie nights after your reviews, this one was no different. The 4K of the Thing lived up to your standards. Keep up the great work. Salutations from the frozen tundra.👍
It's always great to talk to a first time commenter and thank you for taking the time to do so. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear that my videos were able to help you out and the thing in particular is one of them movies when it came out on 4K I was praying that the 4K transfer was going to be incredible and thankfully it was. A huge thank you for all your support and I hope to hear more from you in the future. Don't be a stranger
I have demons too! Same box set. I have yet to watch it but glad to hear it was really good! 😍 I have the shinning too and it looks great! I didn't expect to see so many old titles on your video Keith, really refreshing!
Hey Helmi. The Demons edition is probably one of the rarest arrow editions I own and I'm so fortunate to have it and it's great to hear you have it as well. For me horror was at its best in the 80s. Movies today don't come anywhere close to the movies we got back then and to see them all in glorious 4K is something truly remarkable. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking it out
So do you Malcolm. Great minds think alike my friend. It's a very hard top 10 to argue about. To me it's perfect and thank you so much for stopping by and checking it out
Thanks for sharing your list, now I am going to have to get some of these. I do have the Shining and it never get old. I wish you would have links to them as I like to support guys like you. Thanks again from Georgia, USA home of Brandon!☺️
Hey Ian. Thank you so much for coming across and checking out my video. All 10 of these movies have my stamp of approval and some of the finest 4K transfers you will see. Definitely worth looking into if your a fan of them. I didn't bother leaving links because some of the Editions I showed off are out of print and the rest I simply picked up from Amazon.
Great video countdown and I do have quite a few of these and couldn’t agree more about Dawn of the Dead I bought a 4k tv and player just to watch this to be my first ever 4k viewing. I do think the Blue underground release should get a mention especially Zombie which looks amazing. Thanks for the tip on Hellfest never seen this but it’s on my watch list.
Hey Roy. Believe it or not but I don't own a single blue underground release. Something's telling me a few of them might have featured in this list if I did because I've heard great things about there transfers. Zombie in particular I heard is remarkable. Hellfest is a great movie and if you're into your Halloween themed movies you should get a kick out of this. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my top 10. I really appreciate it
This is one of the most agreeable 'Top 10' film videos I can remember seeing. Hit after hit, after hit. In particular, The Shining, which I watched today on 4K having owned the Blu-Ray for a few years - Kubrick would be very proud of the gorgeous transfer. Keith, you're the man, and I look forward to the live with Mondo tomorrow. Also, you inspired me, I finally filmed my The Batman review, what a film.
Wow thank you so much Otis for the vote of confidence because I honestly thought I was going to have some disagreements on this top 10. The Shining is a masterpiece and to be honest any one of the movies in this top 10 could be number one. I still can't get over how well The Shining looks on 4K and I honestly think it's movies like that that benefit the most on 4k. I really do hope to see you on my stream tomorrow and I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you are shooting a review of the Batman. Let me know when it's out and I promise you I will be over to check it out. Thanks again Otis
@@millerman9991 My pleasure, my friend, this list is absolutely solid. I might give 'The Thing' another go, I tried to watch it when I was far too young and I got about 4 minutes in before submitting to the terror of it! The Shining is artful in every sense, the crispness they've got out of it is remarkable, and the colours look much better now (they were already good!). I'll be sure to let you know when the video's up, top man you are, I appreciate it.
Hey Keith, great video mate. If all movie fanatics created their top 10 list they would all differ so there is no right or wrong. It's personal opinion. At present I'm 6.5 hours into watching James Clavell's Shogun on blu ray which is an absolute joy to watch. I've got just over 2.5 hours to still watch. Have you ever seen Shogun? Highly recommended if you haven't even though it has nothing whatsoever to do with this video 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Jeff that is a valid point and you're absolutely right. Everyone's top 10 is going to be different and you will never find one of the same. I have never heard of Shogun if I'm being completely honest but I am going to check out the trailer and see what it looks like. Thank you so much Jeff for the heads up and thanks again for coming over and checking out the video
Great stuff. I love that you had HELLFEST in there. One of the best recent Halloween flicks. I am also excited because I haven't gotten into 4K yet, but I am already planning on titles to buy when I do.
I have to admit I am so relieved that someone left a comment about hellfest because I thought people would complain that it was in the top 10. I honestly think it's a remarkable horror and trust me do pick it up on 4K you will not believe how beautiful this movie looks on the format. I really do hope you pick it up
@@millerman9991 Already planning to add that to the collection. Count me in also for Halloween II (could be favorite in the series), Evil Dead and The Fog.
Like I said in the video I can't watch Halloween without watching Halloween 2. To me it's just one big movie and I would love Someday for some company to join the two of them together and put out one 3 hour version. It would never happen but I suppose we can dream
@@millerman9991 speaking of dream. Always thought it could have been Laurie’s nightmare after the events of the first film. Rob Zombie’s film literally made it that.
@@millerman9991 Living in Wales. Its been over five years since seeing the family but facetime every few days. I'm binge watching your videos right now lol. You are convincing me that I need to start a physical 4K collection of movies xD.
Hey Ryan. I know it's tough being away from your family but like you said at least you're facetiming everyday. Thanks for checking out some of my videos and I hope they can at least help you when it comes to buying 4k. Honestly I think it's worth the purchase.
Hey Danny thanks again my friend for coming over and checking out my top 10. Everyone of these movies gets my stamp of approval and if you are interested you should check some out. I think you might like them
Hey James. I honestly could not praise The Shining an alien any more than I didn't this video. If you don't have them you should remedy that because they're phenomenal
Hey Darren. Thank you so much for coming over and checking out my video and for the kind words. I really do appreciate it and if you could please do share your thoughts on demons when you get it through the door. Very curious to hear what you think. I remember that movie scaring the living s*** out of me when I was younger.
Another great top 10 Keith! Some stone cold classics in there, so good to know that when I get round to them on UHD, they'll be worth it. Loved that opening line..."I knew it would be a pain in the arse" 😂 Absolute gold! Top man. Keep 'em coming...
Hey Andy thank you so much for coming over and checking out my top 10 and for leaving such a great comment. It really means a lot to me. Every single one of these get my stamp of approval and when you do decide to come over to 4k you are definitely in for a treat. You will not believe what you're looking at.
@@millerman9991 Hey, I've been a 4Ker for a couple of months now, just got lots of catching up to do! I'd say Aquaman, Kong: Skull Island and The Thing are the standouts from what I've bought so far. I read the reviews of The Thing, same as you, and I couldn't believe I was watching the same disc. It looks gorgeous and the snow/ice looks so beautifully white.
I still can't get over some of the reviews I read for the thing on 4k. I honestly don't know what to say maybe their expectations were too high I honestly don't know but there is no way you can knock on that movie and say the picture looked underwhelming. Looks remarkable
Hey Matt. Thanks again for stopping by and checking out my top 10. The thing and the Fog it's almost a coin toss when it comes to the movies and what is my favourite. The reason why I went for the fog is because I thought it was a better upgrade on 4K than the thing. Two absolute classics
Hi Keith - Very much enjoy your reviews. I’ve never seen demons - but order the 4k box set on your recommendation. Am also hunting down Hell Fest in 4k (if I can find it at a reasonable price) - it’s another I’ve not seen.
I honestly would love to hear your thoughts on demons when you do get it. I don't know what it is with that movie but it leaves me horribly uncomfortable when I watch it and it must be something from my childhood when I seen it first. Hellfest is fantastic as well. The setting of the movie gets me very nostalgic and the 4K transfer honestly one of the greatest you will ever see. I really do hope you pick it up. Thank you so much for coming over and checking out the video and for leaving such a kind supportive comment. I really appreciate that
Great list. Hell Fest was actually the first movie I ever watched from beginning to end in 4K in January 2019 (technically on a 1440p screen so doesn't quite count perhaps).
Hey Robin. I'm sure hellfest looks quite remarkable even though it was a 1440p screen. It's just one of them movies that looks remarkable no matter what format its on. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video
Oh cool you got Hellfest Keith. Nice man I'd like to get that movie to. I have Alien on 4k such a great classic movie and the Thing I need that on 4k as well 🆒🆒👍👍
Yeah hellfest I think is a phenomenal horror movie and I get very nostalgic when I watch it. It looks extraordinary in 4K as well. The thing is another classic and by far the best it's ever looked on 4K and I hope you do pick it up. Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my top 10. I really appreciate it
I picked up the DOTD Second sight box second-hand this week for a bargain of 22.50 had a little ding at the top of the box but everything else is mint, the books, and soundtrack discs. steal of the week. Love this movie so much.
Hey Martin. That is without question the deal of the year. What a phenomenal price and even though it has a little ding £22 is extraordinary. Congratulations on scoring that
My TV that I use is a LG 65" CX OLED and the 4k player is a Panasonic UB820. Both are top of the line and honestly I think it's one of the best OLED TVs out there. I've done a video on it if you like to check it out. I will leave the link here ruclips.net/video/BIOSrxl9cFE/видео.html
Hi Keith.Do you know if Alien is the Directors Cut or Theatrical cut? I own the Thing 4K and the transfer quality on that is amazing,I must upgradeThe Fog & The Shining to 4K your review helped me decide to do those titles next! Thanks for another great video.
Hey Brian. Yes alien is the director's cut and I have to tell you it looks remarkable in 4k. The fog and shining I honestly can't praise them enough and I think it's money well spent if you do decide to pick them up and if you do decide to please let me know what you think. Thank you so much for coming over and checking out the video my friend
Great top 10 and you finished it off with one of my Favourites, I have the same edition ! My top 5 would be , Halloween, Halloween 3 , The Fog ( Carpenter Version) , Dawn Of Dead as you showed, & Christine , good video . I look forward to the Fog video you are planning , one of my fav ! My god what a movie
Yeah the fog was always going to be number one for me. I could have put the first 3 Halloween movies in to this list but like I said in the video I could only do one movie per franchise. I can't wait to start fully working on the fog video because the comparisons are truly night and day. Thanks so much for coming over and checking out my top 10 my friend.
I think it's a horror masterpiece. The only thing that held the movie Back is the fact that it was called Halloween 3. They should have left it as Season of the Witch
Hey Arnold. No better way to start a weekend then having a beer and reading such a beautiful comment. Thank you so much my friend. Really has put a smile on my face
I agree with you that Evil Dead is the best looking 16mm 4k I've seen 👌 the colours in Hellfest are insane 🤩👍 can't wait to watch my Psycho, it does look amazing! Yeah I've seen new things in the Demons 4k print...colours especially that just wasn't there in any blu ray I ever saw before 🤯🤩 it's great seeing The Shining in 4k, how sharpe is it!!! 😲😲😲👌👌👌 totally agree about H2 being so clean!!! 🤩 yeah I thought The Thing was unreal!! Can't understand why it was talked about as a bit of a bust on 4k 😵💫😵💫 yeah I think Night and Day definitely will be getting a 4k soon, it's gotta happen!! I agree that The Fog looks amazing!! Love the movie and I think the 4k I used to perfection in this 4k 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍 great Top ten Keith mate! Enjoyed that 🤩🤩👍👍
Hey John. I have to admit I had a fun time putting this top-10 together and I can't see too many people complaining about it and it doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. When it comes to horror and 4K I honestly don't think it comes better than this top 10. Movies and transfers. I know a few people I would find it surprising that I didn't have Halloween in this top 10 but I had to be faithful to it and Halloween was a little underwhelming on 4K when it first came out. It's only because the Blu-ray looked remarkable. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out my friend
I have to admit I thought I was going to get a drilling when I put that movie into the top 10. But everyone seems to like the movie. It's great to hear that there seems to be a fanbase for that movie out there. Like you said massively underrated
The rules are the rules keith and you set them 👌👌👌 Great top ten 👏👏you had demons so I’m happy 😂😂😂 . All the ones you choose do look great in 4k you were spot on with dawn, demons and the fog they are sooo sharp in 4k
Hey Jimmy. I think there's little argument when it comes to this top 10 and the movies that I have in it especially when you look at the 4K transfers on them. Demons is a personal favourite of mine as you know and there was no way I was doing this top 10 and not having it in it. Thanks for checking it out
Awesome, review. I just watched again, The Hills Have Eyes (unrated 2006) Wow I forgotten how graphic this film was. On a side note, I recommend on Netflix, The Man from Toronto, fun and entertaining. I actually watched it twice last week, the second time with the girlfriend and she loved it. Thank you for the review.
Hey Joel. Yeah The Hills Have Eyes is quite brutal but it's one of my favourite remakes aswell. I have never heard of the man from Toronto but I will definitely check it out on your recommendation. Thanks for the heads up on that Joel
Nice list! Glad someone else is giving some love to Hellfest. It does look great in 4k HDR! Another one I found looks great is The Guest. Hoping the Friday the 13th series will one day get a great 4k transfer.
Hey Chris. I am a huge fan of hellfest and honestly it's probably one of the greatest looking 4K transfers you will see out there particularly for colour. I actually have the guest on 4K as well and that was another stunner. I'm a big fan of the movie as well and the soundtrack is amazing on it. Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out the video my friend
Keith, I can't tell you how relieved I was when you held up the Fog, I've got to be honest, I was getting a little worried but you came through in the end. You are a Legend, The Fog is one of my all-time favourites, I know it word to word and Tom Atkins is just brilliant, as is the whole cast. I've lost count of how many times I've seen this one. Great upload Keith. Looking forward to tuning in with you and John tomorrow evening for the live link. Take care, until the next time.
Hey Gary I always knew the fog was going to be number one for this video and I apologise for scaring you there for a while. I have lost count on how many times I have seen that movie. To see it on 4K is something truly remarkable and I cannot wait to shoot the video of the comparisons that I've done for it. I think you're going to like it. Just want to give you a heads up Gary I got my dates wrong and the stream is not happening till Friday next week. Apologies for the mix-up and I really hope you can make it to the Stream.
@@millerman9991 A week friday is good for me aswell, looking forward to it. The comparison video will be interesting to see too, look forward to that one. The movie, Hell Fest is one I never heard of but another one to add to the list to check out. Great top ten, but if I had to put an Halloween movie in there, for me it would be Season of the Witch. People are going to hate me for saying that, sorry, but that movie is awesome.
Halloween 3 is definitely not an unpopular opinion Gary because it would have been in this top 10 only for I could only have one movie per franchise. I can't tell you how much I love that movie. I watch it nearly every month.
@@millerman9991 I say that because I know when it was released people expected to see the shape in it, so because of that it got panned, but as you know since then it as a mega cult following, but some people haven't gotten over that.
You're absolutely right a lot of people have not gotten over the fact that Michael Myers was not in Halloween 3. I've only just recently converted John over and Mondo Chelloveck Movies. He was against this movie for so long until I sent him a copy of it and when he watched it again he appreciate the movie for what it is and now he loves it
Could you share which bluray player you are using ? I got a Sony Ubp-x700 but realized that it cannot play XL 100gb discs. I wonder if are there a lot of uhd discs that fits in 50gb discs..
Hey Andre are you sure that your player won't play 100gb discs because that sounds very strange to me. Every 4K player should play Every 4K title. I'm using a Panasonic DP-UB820EB-K. It's one of the best 4K players you can own at a reasonable price
@@millerman9991 I contacted Sony and they said x700 cannot play BDR-XL discs. Maybe it’s because I’m burning home videos and putting on XL discs because is greater than 50gb..
Nice1 Keith, I have "The Fog" 4K (superb !), I have "The Thing" 4K on order (great movie!), I have Alien on Blu-ray but at some point I'd love to upgrade that to 4K if I can. I don't own "The Shining" but I did get to see it on 4K last year...great picture and a very good watch. I liked your comments about Jack being "frightening" and the hotel being "the star" 🙂 I really liked "Halloween" back in the day but not seen it in decades, never saw any of the sequels...I need watch Halloween 1 again...and then check out the sequel by the sounds of it ! 🙂
The first three Halloween movies I regard as some of the finest horror movies I've ever seen. Bear in mind Michael Myers is not in Halloween 3 it's a completely different story. The sequel to Halloween I don't see it as a sequel it's a continuation. It feels like one movie and if you are a fan of the original I definitely recommend checking it out. I watched a movie just recently on 4k and if I had this movie chances are it would have been close to number one the Amityville Horror. To me it's the perfect 4K transfer. I couldn't find a single flaw with it and if you are a fan I definitely recommend picking that up on 4k.
@@millerman9991 Nice1, I'll definitely keep an eye out for Halloween 1-3 then...interesting that you mentioned "Amityville Horror" as I've never seen that one but my neighbour mentioned it a few weeks back...I assume you're talking about the original from 1979 (looks like they remade it in 2005).
Oh I'm definitely talking about the original. Don't get me wrong the remake with Ryan Reynolds is not too bad either but it doesn't come remotely close to the original. Give it a go and see what you think. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
Well, I will have to revisit Aliens, The Shinning and Halloween II for sure on the OLED. I have then on the shelf unopen. I do own The Thing and it looked fantastic, wow. With this review, I'll be looking for Demons, Dawn Of The Dead and The Fog. Before you know it, October is around the corner lol. Thanks again for the review, have a great rest of your Summer.
Hey Joel. Trust me my friend you over to yourself to check these movies out on your beautiful OLED TV. You will not believe how beautiful they look. Like I said in the video demons scared the s*** out of me when I was younger and dawn of the Dead and the Fog belong in your collection my friend. Like you said October will be here in no time and it will be good to have them
Alien and The Thing are brilliant and look amazing as well. They are my two favourite horror films of all. The Fog would be in my top 3 as well - such a spooky movie!
Hey Paul. Honestly I think all 10 of these movies are quite remarkable. Thankfully the transfers are just as remarkable as the movies themselves. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video my friend. I really appreciate it
Hey Richie. I honestly can't praise the movie enough and if you are interested and checking it out try and get it on 4K. I think you will be blown away by it. If you love your Halloween themed movies you should get a kick out of this
That's a great Top 10 list Keith. I'm sure that The Thing and Alien would be in my list as well. The Fog was a surprise, haven't seen it since VHS but I just ordered it and Prince of Darkness as well so I'm very excited to get to re-watch them after so many years. My summer vacation is just about to start so I might have more time to watch movies the coming weeks. How about you?
Here Sebastian. I'm shocked to hear that you have not seen the fog since VHS. It's definitely up there in my top 5 greatest horror movies of all time and honestly I was always going to put this at number one. Especially when you see it on 4k. Prince of Darkness is a good movie but definitely not one of my favourite John Carpenter movies. Looks astonishing in 4K as well. If you could Sebastian please let me know what you think of both of them when you get in through the door. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. My summer holidays are coming in 3-weeks. Cannot wait for them. Sit down Sebastian have a couple of beers and enjoy a couple of movies. There's Nothing better in the world
@@millerman9991 yeah it's going to be like watching it for the first time again, and I don't mind that at all. 🙂 I sure will let you know what I think about the movies once I get to watch them. Thanks Keith, I will certainly enjoy at least a few beers and movies on my vacation. I hope you can enjoy your holiday the same way. Cheers mate...
I would do anything to be able to see the fog for the first time again. I feel very envious and I really do hope you enjoy it Sebastian. Looking forward to hear what you think
Nice list, I know it's a combination of Film & 4K Transfer but I'd find it very hard to do a Top 10 Horror and not include 'American Werewolf in London' but I'm not sure how it looks in 4k tho.
American Werewolf is a phenomenal movie and the 4K transfer looks beautiful as well. I just couldn't squeeze it in to the top 10. If it was a top 15 list it definitely would have been there.
Love your list! You need to try the Govee immersive lights for your tv. they are insane especially with Hellfest and Demons. Have you seen Haunt? I think you'll love it
I'm actually looking into them lights as we speak. I have to admit they look very intriguing. Yes I have seen haunt and I love the movie. I think you can get a deluxe edition of that movie Somewhere In America and I would love to get my hands on it
@@millerman9991 awesome! The Govee lights have a camera that points down at your TV screen and takes the most prominent colors and projects them behind your TV on the wall. I have them on every TV in my house and they’re amazing. I’ll have to look for that deluxe version. I just love those Halloween themed movies like you said. I also ordered Demons one and two based on your review of the 4K Blu-ray. Love your videos keep it up buddy
Hey Jeff. Like I said I am very intrigued and I'm sure it's going to add a new dynamic to Watching Movies and that's ok in my book. Demons one and two look remarkable in 4K and I think you're going to be impressed when you do get them.
great video.... i know its not stricley horrir,but surprised you didnt put "jaws" in there... its a fantastic 4k.. have you done a review of your evil dead boxset or have i missed it??
Hey Chris. Jaws looks remarkable on 4K but I think I would probably put that under creature feature more than horror. Other than that it would have been in the top 10 trust me. What evil dead box set are you talking about just out of curiosity. The only reason why I ask is because I own so many different box sets of the Evil Dead
@@millerman9991 it's the one you always have sitting I think on the second shelf behind you of the reimagining one... I think inspired you have one in your glass cabinet "with dagger" but I could be wrong...
From what I’ve owned I’d say my top 10 are 1: Santa Sangre 2: zombie aka zombie 2 3: suspiria 4: pet semetary 5: the Addams family extended cut 6: Halloween 3 7: American werewolf 8: old 9: Tammy & the teenage t-rex 10: phenomena aka creepers Honorable mentions: *US *silence of lambs *jurassic world: fallen kingdom *happy death day *the fog
Would be a great 10 to recommend someone new to horror, what a treat they'd be in for. Have to agree fully on demons 1+2 I watched both recently on 4k and looked jaw dropping compared to the old blu rays. I still have to see alien and Dawn of the dead yet on 4k. And going to check that tremors 4k which I just picked up and showed on insta. Maybe an honourable mention aswell Keith to the howling on 4k, recently watched it and those amazing effects looks so much better now, and so many dark shots in the forest with the hdr.
Hey Steve. I watch tremors around 3 weeks ago and trust me when I say you are in for a treat when you see that in 4k. Looks remarkable. There was a few movies that I wanted to put into this top 10 but I couldn't put them in and the Howling was definitely one of them and American Werewolf in London was another. Probably should have done a top 15 😆 🤣
Hey Glenn. To be honest it's not a question of if it's a question of when. There is no doubt in my mind it is going to happen. I can only imagine how much it will cost though
John Carpenter is my favorite director and im so happy with the transfer and look of his film on 4K. He truly derserves it. Great list agree with most of it. However i would have found room for Suspiria. An absolute stunning transfer.
Suspiria looks absolutely remarkable and and if I did a top 15 it probably would have fit in there. It's a great movie as well and I really need to check out it's remake. I've heard very mixed things about it and I heard it's nothing near as good as the original
I honestly thought it was remarkable. The 4K resolution is there to be seen and the Dolby Vision really doesn't enhance the colours. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Not taking anything away from the arrow Blu-ray because that looks fantastic as well
It's good to know that Psycho, Halloween 2 and The Fog are a step up picture quality from the Blu-Ray thou I think older films Really live up to expectation on 4K as a lot of latest releases on 4K have being proven to be very little difference to Blu-Ray, oh And just to let you know Keith my Imax 3D glasses are not suitable for my Friday the 13th part 3 as I need the Anaglyph style That's Red and Blue glasses, eBay has a huge selection.
Hey Carl you are absolutely spot-on when it comes to older movies on 4k. I honestly think that's when the format really gets the shine. Nowadays when you look at recent movies the only real upgrade you see is colour. Not taking anything away from the new movies that come out because some of them do look remarkable. But I do think the benefits of 4K lie with the older movies. That's a shame to hear about the 3d on Friday the 13th Part 3. I was almost certain it was active 3D and not the Anaglyph.
Psycho and all Hitchcock ar great on 4k, especially Vertigo! Demons is amazing on 4K too, totally agree. Love that set! Dawn of the Dead is also my number 1, love the 4K set and I watch all 3 cuts of the film.
I really need to invest in the rest of the Hitchcock collection on 4k. Vertigo is a personal favourite of mine and I really need to see it on 4k. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video and for the stream last night as well. I really appreciate it
@@millerman9991 Vertigo is absolutely incredible. Really I think it's a top 10 film of all time and with the 4K i finally feel like I've seen it in an actual cinema. The colors, clothes, cars, scenery are so beautiful.
Hey Doug you are absolutely spot-on. Probably one of the most engaging soundtracks out there. The dts-x sounds fantastic and I always notice horror movies always seem to have very engaging soundtracks especially when they're done right. The movie itself like you said is an absolute gem and made even more so on 4k. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video my friend
Can't argue with any of those choices really, Hell Fest is a new one to me though so I might check that out. Alien UHD is one the few movies I own with HDR10+ too. I've always thought The Fog was one of Carpenter's most underrated movies, I actually prefer it to Halloween.
Honestly I can't praise hellfest enough and I always get very nostalgic when I watch the movie. It takes me back to the old Halloween horror movies that I love. The fog is another extraordinary John Carpenter movie and even more extraordinary in 4k. It is very underrated when you put it up against the likes of Halloween and the thing. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my top 10. I really appreciate it
Honestly I think it's a top-10 where you can't go wrong owning these movies. Fantastic movies with remarkable 4K transfers. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video
You are dead on with Pyscho but no Jaws the transfer and audio is amazing what they did with the mono track only enhance the movie going experience all the rest you are correct.
Hi Keith Dont know if you have seen this figurine before but by the look of the ones you have already i think it would fit in nice. Its on Amazon's website and its Night of the Living Dead Ultimate Collector's Exclusive Edition .The figurine features an arm coming out of a grave, looks superb. I'm not into horror movies but i know you are so when i saw it i thought you would love it. I think its from Germany and it has a steelbook version too. Regards Gordon Dryden
Hey Gordon. If you look at my videos and look at the display case over my right shoulder you will see that Night of the Living Dead bust in that display stand. It's one of my favourite pieces and I'm so fortunate to have it in my collection. Thank you so much for thinking of me and if you do see anything else like that please do let me know. Thanks again
Ah so it is see it now. If i see anything else i will let you know,just to say there are loads of Media books on Amazon from mostly Germany some a bit pricey though. Keep up the good work mate and all the best. Gordon
Thank you so much Gordon I really do appreciate that. I'm a big fan of of German Media books but like you said they can be very pricey. I picked up a couple over the last year but I tried to be very selective when buying them
What about Suspiria (1977)? Have you checked that out yet? It's 4K upgrade is very highly praised. The colours are incredible and sharpness is on point.
Suspiria looks fantastic on 4K and the movie itself is very good I just found the other 10 movies in this top 10 better than suspiria. Again not taking anything away from suspiria because it's a great movie.
The ending gets me every single time. I love everything about the movie. The cast the setting the story everything. Great to hear I'm not the only one who enjoyed it
It's on the ost to John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" from 1976. Carpenter composed the song too. ... J ruclips.net/video/i5UU2TxOcZs/видео.html
I absolutely agree with you Jaws looks remarkable and the only reason why I didn't have it in the top 10 is because I don't really see it as a horror movie. A bit more of a creature feature movie
HDR is not only about a wider color gamut. It's also about deeper blacks and much brighter whites, which, of course, gives you many more shades of gray. That's why black and white movies look a lot better in HDR.
You are absolutely correct. But there's no denying when you think of HDR you instantly think of colours. Not that black and white aren't colours but you know what I mean
I saw The Fog in the theater, huge fan of it, my second favorite of John’s behind Halloween, BUT the 4k is a letdown - too dark. The Shout Factory Blu-ray is quite a bit better sad to say.
Hey Jeff you are a lucky man to have seen the fog in the theatre. I never had the pleasure and I'm hoping someday I might get the chance to. Halloween is probably my favourite movie of all time and like I said in the video the only reason why it wasn't in the top 10 was because I felt the 4K transfer was a little underwhelming. So I was trying to be faithful to this top 10. Honestly I have no troubles at all when it comes to the fog and its transfer. There is one scene I can think of when Stevie Wayne is on top of the Lighthouse. That scene looked a little too dark. But other than that it looks remarkable. Everybody's equipment is different.
Lately I've been spending a lot of time with this girl I told you about, so I don't have much time left to be on RUclips. Hell, I haven't even bought a single movie in at least three months. The last movies I've bought must have been Baby Driver and Last Night in Soho on 4k Blu-ray, which I've told you about several months ago. I think I bought them somewhere in February or maybe early March, if I remember correctly. Anyway, today I found some time to watch one of your videos. It's a great list with some fantastic movies. Thanks for the interesting list and video.
Hey Patrick I completely understand and I hope everything is going great with you and her. My RUclips videos are always going to be here my friend and I'm just happy that you actually watch them whenever you have the time to do so. So a huge thanks again Patrick and all the best
@@millerman9991 Thank you so much, Keith. Of course, I'll keep on watching your videos, even if it's with some delay. I still love watching your videos and will watch them whenever I find the time to do so.
I bought my first 4K movie not too long I'll be honest I don't see a difference between the Blu-ray and the 4K my friend said that I need a better cable going to settings and do all this and that I don't know any of that stuff I'm sticking to lure a vivid mode and I'm done
There are so many things that could be wrong. For instance the first 4K movie you bought could Simply Be a very poor 4K disk. Trust me when I say there is a lot of bad ones out there. It also depends on how your television is set as well. You mentioned vivid mode now going by experience that is the last mode you would want to go on to. Everything will look too bright and overblown. Just play with your settings until you find what best suits you and if vivid does that for you then stick with it
There are a lot of factors including size/quality of your screen, how close you sit to it, how you've set it up...and what sort of image you find visually pleasing (highly saturated ? very bright and punchy ? detailed and accurate ? depth in the shadows ?). The biggest factor though is whether or not it's a good disk...not all disks are equal (same with DVDs and Blu-rays). Out of curiosity, what was the "first 4K movie" you bought and are referring to ? In my experience most modern movies are released on very good quality blu-rays and in those cases, if the distributor has done only an "average job" with the 4K and the viewer already has good upscaling from modern equipment then there might not be much of a visual difference for many viewers...in fact, in some cases (and this is ***highly subjective*** and dependent on personal tastes and equipment being used) due to potential brightness/HDR issues, added DNR, colour grading choices or even (in one case I know of) audio choices...the 4K occasionally comes out worse ! I have (for example) deliberately chosen not to upgrade my OT Star Wars Blu-rays (Anakin on the cover set) and LOTR Blu-rays (Gold box ring set) because I was able to see what Empire/Jedi/Fellowship looked like on my equipment in 4K and I didn't like it...Hoth in Empire looks grey and dull on 4K instead of the bright white/blue tinged Hoth we see on the blu-ray...C3PO's shell on the way to Jaba's palace in Jedi looks richer and more "real" than the sorta "slightly artifical" looking version on the 4K...the forest at the start of fellowship looks lush and inviting on the Blu-ray but has an "ill/sterile" tone on the 4K...all of this is just my opinion ofc...many reviewers have praised these 4K disks. In general though, the 4K format is technically (and substantially) superior to Blu-ray so if the distributor does "everything right" and they have a good working source that they can get every last bit of detail from then the 4K will be better...sometimes by a little, sometimes by a LOT ! "Temple of Doom" for example (and I assume the other two in the trilogy but I only tested that one) is a MASSIVE upgrade in 4K and well worth purchasing. 1984 Dune is a MASSIVE upgrade on the 4K...as is "True Romance"...and "The Fog" to name a few.
The original Dawn of the dead is an odd one for me, I like it but it comes off as silly in some areas. Personally I prefer the 2004 remake and I’m not usually a remake guy. I just think the characters were better and had scarier zombies. My top 3 zombie movies are 1. Return of the living dead 2. Night of the living dead (1990) 3. Night of the living dead (1968).
The dawn of the Dead remake is definitely up there with one of my favourite remakes but I honestly could not put it ahead of the original. Return of the Living Dead is an absolute classic and I thought Dan o'bannon did a great job with that. Tom Savini Night of the Living Dead is another fantastic remake and of course the original another classic
@@millerman9991 night of the creeps and children shouldn’t play with dead things are also good. I would throw Re- Animator and Pet Sematary in there but I wouldn’t consider them actual “zombie movies”. They have elements but don’t really fit the zombie movie stereotype but I guess deserve a mention.
Yeah I understand what you mean with re-animator and pet Sematary. Probably the last half an hour of re-animator you would almost put it into the zombie genre. Really is a great movie and I think I'm due a revisit
those advisory logos on the front of the blu ray or 4k cases are brutal. So in your face and just takes away from the art on the front. I think the worst is the Australian "M" logo. Its so big and I can't take my eyes away from it. Just a thought when watching this.
I know they can be quite annoying but I don't really pay too much attention to them if I'm completely honest. But I do know what you mean with the Australian logos. Almost takes a quarter of the cover
That list was shite! I’m unsubscribing. Just teasing, Keith! Great list. The only film I don’t have in your list is Dawn of the Dead. Re: Psycho looking good in 4k, I felt the same about The Elephant Man. It looks so good in 4k. Great video and great list. I may have put The Shining at the top of my list. It looks phenomenal.
Hey David. I had a feeling you would hate this top 10 😆 🤣. I have to admit Psycho was a real surprise when it came to 4k. I cannot get over how great it looks. The Shining is absolutely stunning. The only reason why I wasn't higher is because I thought the movies head of it were better. All the transfers in this list look remarkable
Alien also looks incredible on a 120” screen with a Sony HDR 4k projector! It’s amazing how some highly reviewed transfers don’t stand up when blown up, particularly blurays. What’s the transfer foe Evil Dead 2 like? Does it compare
It's funny that you just mentioned Evil Dead 2 because I only watched it it around 2 weeks ago on 4k and I honestly cannot remember if the transfer is good or not. Not sure if that's a Bad Sign that I don't remember. Something's telling me that it's not as good as the original but definitely don't take my word for that. Honestly I'm normally better than this but I cannot remember
@@millerman9991 Love your you tubes, There have been a few turkeys I have owned and think they have a cheek to be called 4k. Galveston was so dark and River runs red was just bad. I do expect better when asked to pay £20+ for a movie
As you know yourself it's part of the collecting game. You're always going to pick up one or two very poor transfers along the way. Thankfully it doesn't happen too often.
I have to admit that would never distract me from this movie. They corrected mistakes and I kind of understand why they did it. But the reason why it's in this top 10 is because it's a fantastic movie and made even better on 4k.
It's nothing to do with the movie it's the fact that it had a greater leap in quality on 4K over Halloween. Halloween is my favourite movie of all time. But I was slightly let down by the 4K transfer
@@millerman9991 I just stumbled on your channel. Enjoyed the video with the cool premium 4k releases. Like that American Werewolf one looked really nice. Huge fave of mine. I haven’t even gone up to 4k. Still have blu ray but that was a cool video.
Hey Richard. Honestly the Blu-ray format is still a fantastic format and I don't praise it near as much as I should. I have been doing a lot of comparison videos with 4K and Blu-rays and to be honest particularly on the new movies you just don't see a massive difference in quality. There is a difference it's just not a major leap

Hi, Keith. Unlike yourself, I've not converted to 4K yet. I'm still quite happy with the blu-ray format. Having said that, your 4K clip of Evil Dead looks outstanding. All of your movie choices were spot on. Classics, all of them. 👍
Hey David. I still do love the Blu-ray format and I still buy a lot of movies on Blu-ray. I don't praise it's nearly enough as I should. The top 10 in this video I do stick by and all of them I honestly think have monster upgrades over there Blu-ray counterparts. As for the movies themselves like you said absolute classics and I'm so fortunate to have them in my collection. Thanks for stopping by and checking the video out my friend
Do yourself a favor and make the switch to 4K. The HDR alone is worth the price of admission!
You’re missing out mate especially with any action styled movie things like Marvel, DC, transformers, planet of the apes reboot
I have pet cemetery remake on 4k it’s ok but the main reason I got it is because it was only £6 on eBay buy it now
You missing out pal. 4k is superior picture
Great top 10 Keith 👌......we appreciate all the work that goes into these vids....keep them coming.... looking forward to the fog comparison.
Wow that is so kind of you to say Roy and I really do appreciate that. Can't wait to show off the fog comparisons. You won't believe the difference. Thanks again Roy
Great video Keith. Nice to know what the ebst looking 4ks are from my favourite genre. Love the detail and specs you go into 😁👍
Hey Jordan thanks so much for the positive feedback. I really do appreciate it. All 10 of these movies are solid on 4k and definitely worth investing in. Thanks for checking it out my friend
Solid list and solid reasons for your picks. Excellent stuff. Hellfest is a great movie too.
Hey Mark. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant about putting hellfest into this list because I didn't know how people would take to it. But I have to admit this movie has a somewhat cult Following and I haven't heard a bad thing from anyone about it. Thank you so much for checking out the video. I really appreciate it
Great list - I am glad to see that I have 9 of the films. Second Sight produce great 4Ks - looking forward to their 4K of Dog Soldiers.
Hey Paul great minds think alike my friend. Cannot wait to get hold of dog soldiers especially with second sight behind it. Thanks again for checking out the video Paul
Long time subscriber, first time commenter. Really love your channel. Had so many awesome movie nights after your reviews, this one was no different. The 4K of the Thing lived up to your standards. Keep up the great work. Salutations from the frozen tundra.👍
It's always great to talk to a first time commenter and thank you for taking the time to do so. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear that my videos were able to help you out and the thing in particular is one of them movies when it came out on 4K I was praying that the 4K transfer was going to be incredible and thankfully it was. A huge thank you for all your support and I hope to hear more from you in the future. Don't be a stranger
I have demons too! Same box set. I have yet to watch it but glad to hear it was really good! 😍 I have the shinning too and it looks great! I didn't expect to see so many old titles on your video Keith, really refreshing!
Hey Helmi. The Demons edition is probably one of the rarest arrow editions I own and I'm so fortunate to have it and it's great to hear you have it as well. For me horror was at its best in the 80s. Movies today don't come anywhere close to the movies we got back then and to see them all in glorious 4K is something truly remarkable. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking it out
You have chosen nearly all my favourite films in you top ten eg the Thing and Alien . You got good taste.
So do you Malcolm. Great minds think alike my friend. It's a very hard top 10 to argue about. To me it's perfect and thank you so much for stopping by and checking it out
Thanks for sharing your list, now I am going to have to get some of these. I do have the Shining and it never get old. I wish you would have links to them as I like to support guys like you. Thanks again from Georgia, USA home of Brandon!☺️
Hey Ian. Thank you so much for coming across and checking out my video. All 10 of these movies have my stamp of approval and some of the finest 4K transfers you will see. Definitely worth looking into if your a fan of them. I didn't bother leaving links because some of the Editions I showed off are out of print and the rest I simply picked up from Amazon.
Great video countdown and I do have quite a few of these and couldn’t agree more about Dawn of the Dead I bought a 4k tv and player just to watch this to be my first ever 4k viewing. I do think the Blue underground release should get a mention especially Zombie which looks amazing. Thanks for the tip on Hellfest never seen this but it’s on my watch list.
Hey Roy. Believe it or not but I don't own a single blue underground release. Something's telling me a few of them might have featured in this list if I did because I've heard great things about there transfers. Zombie in particular I heard is remarkable. Hellfest is a great movie and if you're into your Halloween themed movies you should get a kick out of this. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my top 10. I really appreciate it
This is one of the most agreeable 'Top 10' film videos I can remember seeing. Hit after hit, after hit. In particular, The Shining, which I watched today on 4K having owned the Blu-Ray for a few years - Kubrick would be very proud of the gorgeous transfer. Keith, you're the man, and I look forward to the live with Mondo tomorrow. Also, you inspired me, I finally filmed my The Batman review, what a film.
Wow thank you so much Otis for the vote of confidence because I honestly thought I was going to have some disagreements on this top 10. The Shining is a masterpiece and to be honest any one of the movies in this top 10 could be number one. I still can't get over how well The Shining looks on 4K and I honestly think it's movies like that that benefit the most on 4k. I really do hope to see you on my stream tomorrow and I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you are shooting a review of the Batman. Let me know when it's out and I promise you I will be over to check it out. Thanks again Otis
@@millerman9991 My pleasure, my friend, this list is absolutely solid. I might give 'The Thing' another go, I tried to watch it when I was far too young and I got about 4 minutes in before submitting to the terror of it! The Shining is artful in every sense, the crispness they've got out of it is remarkable, and the colours look much better now (they were already good!). I'll be sure to let you know when the video's up, top man you are, I appreciate it.
Thanks again Otis and honestly I cannot wait to see your video. The Batman is such a solid movie and honestly I cannot wait to watch it again.
Hey Keith, great video mate. If all movie fanatics created their top 10 list they would all differ so there is no right or wrong. It's personal opinion.
At present I'm 6.5 hours into watching James Clavell's Shogun on blu ray which is an absolute joy to watch. I've got just over 2.5 hours to still watch. Have you ever seen Shogun? Highly recommended if you haven't even though it has nothing whatsoever to do with this video 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Jeff that is a valid point and you're absolutely right. Everyone's top 10 is going to be different and you will never find one of the same.
I have never heard of Shogun if I'm being completely honest but I am going to check out the trailer and see what it looks like. Thank you so much Jeff for the heads up and thanks again for coming over and checking out the video
Great stuff. I love that you had HELLFEST in there. One of the best recent Halloween flicks. I am also excited because I haven't gotten into 4K yet, but I am already planning on titles to buy when I do.
I have to admit I am so relieved that someone left a comment about hellfest because I thought people would complain that it was in the top 10. I honestly think it's a remarkable horror and trust me do pick it up on 4K you will not believe how beautiful this movie looks on the format. I really do hope you pick it up
@@millerman9991 Already planning to add that to the collection. Count me in also for Halloween II (could be favorite in the series), Evil Dead and The Fog.
Like I said in the video I can't watch Halloween without watching Halloween 2. To me it's just one big movie and I would love Someday for some company to join the two of them together and put out one 3 hour version. It would never happen but I suppose we can dream
@@millerman9991 speaking of dream. Always thought it could have been Laurie’s nightmare after the events of the first film. Rob Zombie’s film literally made it that.
Great video! Very interesting. It warms my heart hearing you say "Filum" xD Makes me miss my family in Killarney.
Hey Ryan thank you so much for the kind words my friend. When was the last time you were home to see your family in Killarney
@@millerman9991 Living in Wales. Its been over five years since seeing the family but facetime every few days. I'm binge watching your videos right now lol. You are convincing me that I need to start a physical 4K collection of movies xD.
Hey Ryan. I know it's tough being away from your family but like you said at least you're facetiming everyday. Thanks for checking out some of my videos and I hope they can at least help you when it comes to buying 4k. Honestly I think it's worth the purchase.
Great video and great list I have Evil Dead on blu-ray alien on DVD and love them films and you did a great list there mate will done
Hey Danny thanks again my friend for coming over and checking out my top 10. Everyone of these movies gets my stamp of approval and if you are interested you should check some out. I think you might like them
@@millerman9991 I'll will at some point when I have the money
great picks Keith keep it up i need to get the shinning and alien.
Hey James. I honestly could not praise The Shining an alien any more than I didn't this video. If you don't have them you should remedy that because they're phenomenal
Loved your choices and your enthusiasm for the films. I actually haven't seen Demons so I ordered the 4K disc from Amazon for delivery tomorrow.
Hey Darren. Thank you so much for coming over and checking out my video and for the kind words. I really do appreciate it and if you could please do share your thoughts on demons when you get it through the door. Very curious to hear what you think. I remember that movie scaring the living s*** out of me when I was younger.
Thank you for the awesome top 10 👍🏻
Thank you for checking it out my friend
Another great top 10 Keith! Some stone cold classics in there, so good to know that when I get round to them on UHD, they'll be worth it. Loved that opening line..."I knew it would be a pain in the arse" 😂 Absolute gold! Top man. Keep 'em coming...
Hey Andy thank you so much for coming over and checking out my top 10 and for leaving such a great comment. It really means a lot to me. Every single one of these get my stamp of approval and when you do decide to come over to 4k you are definitely in for a treat. You will not believe what you're looking at.
@@millerman9991 Hey, I've been a 4Ker for a couple of months now, just got lots of catching up to do! I'd say Aquaman, Kong: Skull Island and The Thing are the standouts from what I've bought so far. I read the reviews of The Thing, same as you, and I couldn't believe I was watching the same disc. It looks gorgeous and the snow/ice looks so beautifully white.
I still can't get over some of the reviews I read for the thing on 4k. I honestly don't know what to say maybe their expectations were too high I honestly don't know but there is no way you can knock on that movie and say the picture looked underwhelming. Looks remarkable
Great top ten Keith 👍. My number one Carpenter film is the Thing closely followed by the Fog I own both on 4K and agree they look fantastic 👍
Hey Matt. Thanks again for stopping by and checking out my top 10. The thing and the Fog it's almost a coin toss when it comes to the movies and what is my favourite. The reason why I went for the fog is because I thought it was a better upgrade on 4K than the thing. Two absolute classics
@@millerman9991 yes agree 👍 😎
Hi Keith - Very much enjoy your reviews. I’ve never seen demons - but order the 4k box set on your recommendation. Am also hunting down Hell Fest in 4k (if I can find it at a reasonable price) - it’s another I’ve not seen.
I honestly would love to hear your thoughts on demons when you do get it. I don't know what it is with that movie but it leaves me horribly uncomfortable when I watch it and it must be something from my childhood when I seen it first. Hellfest is fantastic as well. The setting of the movie gets me very nostalgic and the 4K transfer honestly one of the greatest you will ever see. I really do hope you pick it up. Thank you so much for coming over and checking out the video and for leaving such a kind supportive comment. I really appreciate that
Great list. Hell Fest was actually the first movie I ever watched from beginning to end in 4K in January 2019 (technically on a 1440p screen so doesn't quite count perhaps).
Hey Robin. I'm sure hellfest looks quite remarkable even though it was a 1440p screen. It's just one of them movies that looks remarkable no matter what format its on. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video
Great top 10 horror list . I still want to pick up Halloween II and Alien for my 4k collection.
Halloween 2 and Alien look remarkable and if your a fan you need to pick these movies up on 4k. It's like looking at them for the first time again
Great video and I love horror movies on 4k!
Most of my favourite 4K transfers are horror movies. I might be a little biased.
Oh cool you got Hellfest Keith. Nice man I'd like to get that movie to. I have Alien on 4k such a great classic movie and the Thing I need that on 4k as well 🆒🆒👍👍
Yeah hellfest I think is a phenomenal horror movie and I get very nostalgic when I watch it. It looks extraordinary in 4K as well. The thing is another classic and by far the best it's ever looked on 4K and I hope you do pick it up. Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my top 10. I really appreciate it
@@millerman9991 You're welcome 👍
I picked up the DOTD Second sight box second-hand this week for a bargain of 22.50 had a little ding at the top of the box but everything else is mint, the books, and soundtrack discs. steal of the week. Love this movie so much.
Hey Martin. That is without question the deal of the year. What a phenomenal price and even though it has a little ding £22 is extraordinary. Congratulations on scoring that
What 4K player and TV or monitor do you use to watch these? Your screen makes the color look amazing!
My TV that I use is a LG 65" CX OLED and the 4k player is a Panasonic UB820. Both are top of the line and honestly I think it's one of the best OLED TVs out there. I've done a video on it if you like to check it out. I will leave the link here
ruclips.net/video/BIOSrxl9cFE/видео.html
Hi Keith.Do you know if Alien is the Directors Cut or Theatrical cut? I own the Thing 4K and the transfer quality on that is amazing,I must upgradeThe Fog & The Shining to 4K your review helped me decide to do those titles next! Thanks for another great video.
Hey Brian. Yes alien is the director's cut and I have to tell you it looks remarkable in 4k. The fog and shining I honestly can't praise them enough and I think it's money well spent if you do decide to pick them up and if you do decide to please let me know what you think. Thank you so much for coming over and checking out the video my friend
@@millerman9991 Yes I will Keith.Thanks again.
No problem Brian and thanks again
Great top 10 and you finished it off with one of my Favourites, I have the same edition ! My top 5 would be , Halloween, Halloween 3 , The Fog ( Carpenter Version) , Dawn Of Dead as you showed, & Christine , good video . I look forward to the Fog video you are planning , one of my fav ! My god what a movie
Yeah the fog was always going to be number one for me. I could have put the first 3 Halloween movies in to this list but like I said in the video I could only do one movie per franchise. I can't wait to start fully working on the fog video because the comparisons are truly night and day. Thanks so much for coming over and checking out my top 10 my friend.
@@millerman9991 ya there is something great IMO about Halloween 3 ! Cheers 🥂🤞🇦🇺🇮🇪
I think it's a horror masterpiece. The only thing that held the movie Back is the fact that it was called Halloween 3. They should have left it as Season of the Witch
@@millerman9991 agreed ! But it still gets a monthly watch 😂 along with Ghost Story with Fred Astaire ! Another 80s classic
Never seen ghost story before but definitely going to check it out now.
No better way then to start the weekend with a beer and a new video by the one and only!🥳
Hey Arnold. No better way to start a weekend then having a beer and reading such a beautiful comment. Thank you so much my friend. Really has put a smile on my face
I agree with you that Evil Dead is the best looking 16mm 4k I've seen 👌 the colours in Hellfest are insane 🤩👍 can't wait to watch my Psycho, it does look amazing! Yeah I've seen new things in the Demons 4k print...colours especially that just wasn't there in any blu ray I ever saw before 🤯🤩 it's great seeing The Shining in 4k, how sharpe is it!!! 😲😲😲👌👌👌 totally agree about H2 being so clean!!! 🤩 yeah I thought The Thing was unreal!! Can't understand why it was talked about as a bit of a bust on 4k 😵💫😵💫 yeah I think Night and Day definitely will be getting a 4k soon, it's gotta happen!! I agree that The Fog looks amazing!! Love the movie and I think the 4k I used to perfection in this 4k 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍 great Top ten Keith mate! Enjoyed that 🤩🤩👍👍
Hey John. I have to admit I had a fun time putting this top-10 together and I can't see too many people complaining about it and it doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. When it comes to horror and 4K I honestly don't think it comes better than this top 10. Movies and transfers. I know a few people I would find it surprising that I didn't have Halloween in this top 10 but I had to be faithful to it and Halloween was a little underwhelming on 4K when it first came out. It's only because the Blu-ray looked remarkable. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out my friend
Hell Fest is quite underrated! I really enjoy that movie and the 4K does look incredible!
I have to admit I thought I was going to get a drilling when I put that movie into the top 10. But everyone seems to like the movie. It's great to hear that there seems to be a fanbase for that movie out there. Like you said massively underrated
The rules are the rules keith and you set them 👌👌👌
Great top ten 👏👏you had demons so I’m happy 😂😂😂 . All the ones you choose do look great in 4k you were spot on with dawn, demons and the fog they are sooo sharp in 4k
Hey Jimmy. I think there's little argument when it comes to this top 10 and the movies that I have in it especially when you look at the 4K transfers on them. Demons is a personal favourite of mine as you know and there was no way I was doing this top 10 and not having it in it. Thanks for checking it out
Awesome, review. I just watched again, The Hills Have Eyes (unrated 2006) Wow I forgotten how graphic this film was. On a side note, I recommend on Netflix, The Man from Toronto, fun and entertaining. I actually watched it twice last week, the second time with the girlfriend and she loved it. Thank you for the review.
Hey Joel. Yeah The Hills Have Eyes is quite brutal but it's one of my favourite remakes aswell. I have never heard of the man from Toronto but I will definitely check it out on your recommendation. Thanks for the heads up on that Joel
Nice list! Glad someone else is giving some love to Hellfest. It does look great in 4k HDR! Another one I found looks great is The Guest. Hoping the Friday the 13th series will one day get a great 4k transfer.
Hey Chris. I am a huge fan of hellfest and honestly it's probably one of the greatest looking 4K transfers you will see out there particularly for colour. I actually have the guest on 4K as well and that was another stunner. I'm a big fan of the movie as well and the soundtrack is amazing on it. Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out the video my friend
@@millerman9991 It does have a great soundtrack! I haven't seen The Fog in 4k yet and I love that movie so I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks
The fog looks fantastic and I think you'll like it.
Keith, I can't tell you how relieved I was when you held up the Fog, I've got to be honest, I was getting a little worried but you came through in the end. You are a Legend, The Fog is one of my all-time favourites, I know it word to word and Tom Atkins is just brilliant, as is the whole cast. I've lost count of how many times I've seen this one. Great upload Keith. Looking forward to tuning in with you and John tomorrow evening for the live link. Take care, until the next time.
Hey Gary I always knew the fog was going to be number one for this video and I apologise for scaring you there for a while. I have lost count on how many times I have seen that movie. To see it on 4K is something truly remarkable and I cannot wait to shoot the video of the comparisons that I've done for it. I think you're going to like it. Just want to give you a heads up Gary I got my dates wrong and the stream is not happening till Friday next week. Apologies for the mix-up and I really hope you can make it to the Stream.
@@millerman9991 A week friday is good for me aswell, looking forward to it. The comparison video will be interesting to see too, look forward to that one. The movie, Hell Fest is one I never heard of but another one to add to the list to check out. Great top ten, but if I had to put an Halloween movie in there, for me it would be Season of the Witch. People are going to hate me for saying that, sorry, but that movie is awesome.
Halloween 3 is definitely not an unpopular opinion Gary because it would have been in this top 10 only for I could only have one movie per franchise. I can't tell you how much I love that movie. I watch it nearly every month.
@@millerman9991 I say that because I know when it was released people expected to see the shape in it, so because of that it got panned, but as you know since then it as a mega cult following, but some people haven't gotten over that.
You're absolutely right a lot of people have not gotten over the fact that Michael Myers was not in Halloween 3. I've only just recently converted John over and Mondo Chelloveck Movies. He was against this movie for so long until I sent him a copy of it and when he watched it again he appreciate the movie for what it is and now he loves it
Could you share which bluray player you are using ? I got a Sony Ubp-x700 but realized that it cannot play XL 100gb discs. I wonder if are there a lot of uhd discs that fits in 50gb discs..
Hey Andre are you sure that your player won't play 100gb discs because that sounds very strange to me. Every 4K player should play Every 4K title. I'm using a Panasonic DP-UB820EB-K. It's one of the best 4K players you can own at a reasonable price
@@millerman9991 I contacted Sony and they said x700 cannot play BDR-XL discs. Maybe it’s because I’m burning home videos and putting on XL discs because is greater than 50gb..
Wow I'm very surprised by that if I'm completely honest
Nice1 Keith, I have "The Fog" 4K (superb !), I have "The Thing" 4K on order (great movie!), I have Alien on Blu-ray but at some point I'd love to upgrade that to 4K if I can.
I don't own "The Shining" but I did get to see it on 4K last year...great picture and a very good watch. I liked your comments about Jack being "frightening" and the hotel being "the star" 🙂
I really liked "Halloween" back in the day but not seen it in decades, never saw any of the sequels...I need watch Halloween 1 again...and then check out the sequel by the sounds of it ! 🙂
The first three Halloween movies I regard as some of the finest horror movies I've ever seen. Bear in mind Michael Myers is not in Halloween 3 it's a completely different story. The sequel to Halloween I don't see it as a sequel it's a continuation. It feels like one movie and if you are a fan of the original I definitely recommend checking it out. I watched a movie just recently on 4k and if I had this movie chances are it would have been close to number one the Amityville Horror. To me it's the perfect 4K transfer. I couldn't find a single flaw with it and if you are a fan I definitely recommend picking that up on 4k.
@@millerman9991 Nice1, I'll definitely keep an eye out for Halloween 1-3 then...interesting that you mentioned "Amityville Horror" as I've never seen that one but my neighbour mentioned it a few weeks back...I assume you're talking about the original from 1979 (looks like they remade it in 2005).
Oh I'm definitely talking about the original. Don't get me wrong the remake with Ryan Reynolds is not too bad either but it doesn't come remotely close to the original. Give it a go and see what you think. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
Well, I will have to revisit Aliens, The Shinning and Halloween II for sure on the OLED. I have then on the shelf unopen. I do own The Thing and it looked fantastic, wow. With this review, I'll be looking for Demons, Dawn Of The Dead and The Fog. Before you know it, October is around the corner lol. Thanks again for the review, have a great rest of your Summer.
Hey Joel. Trust me my friend you over to yourself to check these movies out on your beautiful OLED TV. You will not believe how beautiful they look. Like I said in the video demons scared the s*** out of me when I was younger and dawn of the Dead and the Fog belong in your collection my friend. Like you said October will be here in no time and it will be good to have them
The Shinning was from Simpsons lol
Alien and The Thing are brilliant and look amazing as well. They are my two favourite horror films of all. The Fog would be in my top 3 as well - such a spooky movie!
Hey Paul. Honestly I think all 10 of these movies are quite remarkable. Thankfully the transfers are just as remarkable as the movies themselves. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video my friend. I really appreciate it
I got the thing and hereditary on 4k.
I can't believe I have never seen Hell fest,I will seek it out,great list by the way.
Hey Richie. I honestly can't praise the movie enough and if you are interested and checking it out try and get it on 4K. I think you will be blown away by it. If you love your Halloween themed movies you should get a kick out of this
That's a great Top 10 list Keith. I'm sure that The Thing and Alien would be in my list as well. The Fog was a surprise, haven't seen it since VHS but I just ordered it and Prince of Darkness as well so I'm very excited to get to re-watch them after so many years. My summer vacation is just about to start so I might have more time to watch movies the coming weeks. How about you?
Here Sebastian. I'm shocked to hear that you have not seen the fog since VHS. It's definitely up there in my top 5 greatest horror movies of all time and honestly I was always going to put this at number one. Especially when you see it on 4k. Prince of Darkness is a good movie but definitely not one of my favourite John Carpenter movies. Looks astonishing in 4K as well. If you could Sebastian please let me know what you think of both of them when you get in through the door. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. My summer holidays are coming in 3-weeks. Cannot wait for them. Sit down Sebastian have a couple of beers and enjoy a couple of movies. There's Nothing better in the world
@@millerman9991 yeah it's going to be like watching it for the first time again, and I don't mind that at all. 🙂 I sure will let you know what I think about the movies once I get to watch them. Thanks Keith, I will certainly enjoy at least a few beers and movies on my vacation. I hope you can enjoy your holiday the same way. Cheers mate...
I would do anything to be able to see the fog for the first time again. I feel very envious and I really do hope you enjoy it Sebastian. Looking forward to hear what you think
Nice list, I know it's a combination of Film & 4K Transfer but I'd find it very hard to do a Top 10 Horror and not include 'American Werewolf in London' but I'm not sure how it looks in 4k tho.
American Werewolf is a phenomenal movie and the 4K transfer looks beautiful as well. I just couldn't squeeze it in to the top 10. If it was a top 15 list it definitely would have been there.
Love your list! You need to try the Govee immersive lights for your tv. they are insane especially with Hellfest and Demons. Have you seen Haunt? I think you'll love it
I'm actually looking into them lights as we speak. I have to admit they look very intriguing. Yes I have seen haunt and I love the movie. I think you can get a deluxe edition of that movie Somewhere In America and I would love to get my hands on it
@@millerman9991 awesome! The Govee lights have a camera that points down at your TV screen and takes the most prominent colors and projects them behind your TV on the wall. I have them on every TV in my house and they’re amazing. I’ll have to look for that deluxe version. I just love those Halloween themed movies like you said. I also ordered Demons one and two based on your review of the 4K Blu-ray. Love your videos keep it up buddy
Hey Jeff. Like I said I am very intrigued and I'm sure it's going to add a new dynamic to Watching Movies and that's ok in my book. Demons one and two look remarkable in 4K and I think you're going to be impressed when you do get them.
Great video! Have you seen Arrows 4k of Tremors!? Man that transfer blew me away.
Wow I had to think there for a second. Completely forgot arrow video done that release. But yes the 4K transfer is fantastic on it. Great movie aswell
hi great picks you could not have picked better
Hey Mike. Thank you so much for coming over and checking out the video my friend. Yes it's the perfect top 10 in my opinion
amazing. I'm your Fan.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it
great video.... i know its not stricley horrir,but surprised you didnt put "jaws" in there... its a fantastic 4k.. have you done a review of your evil dead boxset or have i missed it??
Hey Chris. Jaws looks remarkable on 4K but I think I would probably put that under creature feature more than horror. Other than that it would have been in the top 10 trust me. What evil dead box set are you talking about just out of curiosity. The only reason why I ask is because I own so many different box sets of the Evil Dead
@@millerman9991 it's the one you always have sitting I think on the second shelf behind you of the reimagining one... I think inspired you have one in your glass cabinet "with dagger" but I could be wrong...
Hey Chris yes I have done a video on that and I will leave the link here for you. It really looks amazing.
ruclips.net/video/b_Tf0ozNlpE/видео.html
Great video,what genre is next ?👍
Wow I honestly don't know. I might do something a little different and do comedy.
@@millerman9991 I look forward to it.😂👍
Thanks buddy. Really appreciate it
From what I’ve owned I’d say my top 10 are
1: Santa Sangre
2: zombie aka zombie 2
3: suspiria
4: pet semetary
5: the Addams family extended cut
6: Halloween 3
7: American werewolf
8: old
9: Tammy & the teenage t-rex
10: phenomena aka creepers
Honorable mentions:
*US
*silence of lambs
*jurassic world: fallen kingdom
*happy death day
*the fog
Wow that's actually a very interesting top 10. There's a lot in there I haven't even heard of. Thanks for sharing my friend
Santa sangre!!! Do you know if they will put Holy Mountain or El Topo on 4K????
Also have Suspiria, Phenomena and AWIL on 4K and I agree all fantastic.
Oh and Zombi too, absolutely breathtaking 4K set....and House by The Cemetery by Fulci as well on 4K...i think by Blue Underground? Stunning imagery.
I agree demons messed me up as a kid! excellent selection of horror movies
Yeah demons is one of them movies that just stuck with me from childhood. Even now it freaks me out. Great movie
Halloween 3 is my favorite from the franchise.
Hey Robert. Honestly I cannot pick between the first 3 Halloween movies. Season of the Witch is a horror masterpiece in my eyes
Would be a great 10 to recommend someone new to horror, what a treat they'd be in for. Have to agree fully on demons 1+2 I watched both recently on 4k and looked jaw dropping compared to the old blu rays. I still have to see alien and Dawn of the dead yet on 4k. And going to check that tremors 4k which I just picked up and showed on insta. Maybe an honourable mention aswell Keith to the howling on 4k, recently watched it and those amazing effects looks so much better now, and so many dark shots in the forest with the hdr.
Hey Steve. I watch tremors around 3 weeks ago and trust me when I say you are in for a treat when you see that in 4k. Looks remarkable. There was a few movies that I wanted to put into this top 10 but I couldn't put them in and the Howling was definitely one of them and American Werewolf in London was another. Probably should have done a top 15 😆 🤣
Awesome video
Thanks again Jaden. Really appreciate it
Do you think if the Nightmare on Elmstreet franchise will ever see 4K releases?
Hey Glenn. To be honest it's not a question of if it's a question of when. There is no doubt in my mind it is going to happen. I can only imagine how much it will cost though
John Carpenter is my favorite director and im so happy with the transfer and look of his film on 4K. He truly derserves it. Great list agree with most of it. However i would have found room for Suspiria. An absolute stunning transfer.
Suspiria looks absolutely remarkable and and if I did a top 15 it probably would have fit in there. It's a great movie as well and I really need to check out it's remake. I've heard very mixed things about it and I heard it's nothing near as good as the original
Which version (length wise) you like of Dawn of the dead?
I can't wait for Day of the Dead 4k release!
To be honest I am a bit of a traditionalist and I prefer the theatrical. It's what I grew up by and it's what I love
I’d love to see a Dawn of the dead, 2004 remake 4K transfer, that was the scariest movie I’ve ever watched.
Hey Kevin. I couldn't agree more with you. The dawn of the Dead remake is one of the best remakes out there and I would love to see it on 4k
@@millerman9991 let’s hope we see it coming sooner then later 🤞🏼
Absolutely
I remember seeing the fog when it came out. Scared the shit out of me when I was a kid lol
Hey Shane. I was the exact same. The scene where Stevie Wayne looks up and you see the fog coming down towards her. Gets me everytime
Hmmm, I’ve got the Arrow Video release of the Thing on blu, been wondering for a while if it’s worth upgrading……
I honestly thought it was remarkable. The 4K resolution is there to be seen and the Dolby Vision really doesn't enhance the colours. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Not taking anything away from the arrow Blu-ray because that looks fantastic as well
Go on then, I’ll get it ordered 😂
May as well sneak it in before Event Horizon arrives.
Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Thank you so much and I really appreciate you taking the time to check out the video
It's good to know that Psycho, Halloween 2 and The Fog are a step up picture quality from the Blu-Ray thou I think older films
Really live up to expectation on 4K as a lot of latest releases on 4K have being proven to be very little difference to Blu-Ray, oh
And just to let you know Keith my Imax 3D glasses are not suitable for my Friday the 13th part 3 as I need the Anaglyph style
That's Red and Blue glasses, eBay has a huge selection.
Hey Carl you are absolutely spot-on when it comes to older movies on 4k. I honestly think that's when the format really gets the shine. Nowadays when you look at recent movies the only real upgrade you see is colour. Not taking anything away from the new movies that come out because some of them do look remarkable. But I do think the benefits of 4K lie with the older movies. That's a shame to hear about the 3d on Friday the 13th Part 3. I was almost certain it was active 3D and not the Anaglyph.
what do you think about the new halloween trilogy? cheers
I wasn't too crazy about them if I'm completely honest. Halloween ends in particular I thought was awful
agreed@@millerman9991
Psycho and all Hitchcock ar great on 4k, especially Vertigo! Demons is amazing on 4K too, totally agree. Love that set! Dawn of the Dead is also my number 1, love the 4K set and I watch all 3 cuts of the film.
I really need to invest in the rest of the Hitchcock collection on 4k. Vertigo is a personal favourite of mine and I really need to see it on 4k. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video and for the stream last night as well. I really appreciate it
@@millerman9991 Vertigo is absolutely incredible. Really I think it's a top 10 film of all time and with the 4K i finally feel like I've seen it in an actual cinema. The colors, clothes, cars, scenery are so beautiful.
Hellfest really engages your surround speakers. It's a hidden gem.
Hey Doug you are absolutely spot-on. Probably one of the most engaging soundtracks out there. The dts-x sounds fantastic and I always notice horror movies always seem to have very engaging soundtracks especially when they're done right. The movie itself like you said is an absolute gem and made even more so on 4k. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video my friend
Couldn’t disagree with a single entry on your list, perfect list not a film I dislike on here. Hope your both well
Hey Paul. I had a feeling you would agree with this list funny enough. We Are both doing great and all the best to yourself and Rach.
Can't argue with any of those choices really, Hell Fest is a new one to me though so I might check that out. Alien UHD is one the few movies I own with HDR10+ too. I've always thought The Fog was one of Carpenter's most underrated movies, I actually prefer it to Halloween.
Honestly I can't praise hellfest enough and I always get very nostalgic when I watch the movie. It takes me back to the old Halloween horror movies that I love. The fog is another extraordinary John Carpenter movie and even more extraordinary in 4k. It is very underrated when you put it up against the likes of Halloween and the thing. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my top 10. I really appreciate it
plez tell about yout smart tv ????
I'll do one better for you. Here is the link to my home cinema setup.
ruclips.net/video/BIOSrxl9cFE/видео.html
I’m 10 for 10 on your list. Have all those titles and the same editions as well.
Honestly I think it's a top-10 where you can't go wrong owning these movies. Fantastic movies with remarkable 4K transfers. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video
You are dead on with Pyscho but no Jaws the transfer and audio is amazing what they did with the mono track only enhance the movie going experience all the rest you are correct.
Thanks Pete I really appreciate you checking out the video. Psycho is truly amazing on 4k
Hi Keith
Dont know if you have seen this figurine before but by the look of the ones you have already i think it would fit in nice. Its on Amazon's website and its Night of the Living Dead Ultimate Collector's Exclusive Edition .The figurine features an arm coming out of a grave, looks superb. I'm not into horror movies but i know you are so when i saw it i thought you would love it. I think its from Germany and it has a steelbook version too.
Regards
Gordon Dryden
Hey Gordon. If you look at my videos and look at the display case over my right shoulder you will see that Night of the Living Dead bust in that display stand. It's one of my favourite pieces and I'm so fortunate to have it in my collection. Thank you so much for thinking of me and if you do see anything else like that please do let me know. Thanks again
Ah so it is see it now. If i see anything else i will let you know,just to say there are loads of Media books on Amazon from mostly Germany some a bit pricey though. Keep up the good work mate and all the best.
Gordon
Thank you so much Gordon I really do appreciate that. I'm a big fan of of German Media books but like you said they can be very pricey. I picked up a couple over the last year but I tried to be very selective when buying them
What about Suspiria (1977)? Have you checked that out yet? It's 4K upgrade is very highly praised. The colours are incredible and sharpness is on point.
Suspiria looks fantastic on 4K and the movie itself is very good I just found the other 10 movies in this top 10 better than suspiria. Again not taking anything away from suspiria because it's a great movie.
I have alien and the thing 4k. Loved those movies
2 phenomenal movies and even more so on 4k. An absolute must if you're a horror fan
@@millerman9991 thats what I got
I enjoyed Hell Fest too. I loved the ending
The ending gets me every single time. I love everything about the movie. The cast the setting the story everything. Great to hear I'm not the only one who enjoyed it
Is your intro mega blast by bomb the bass?
It's on the ost to John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" from 1976. Carpenter composed the song too. ... J ruclips.net/video/i5UU2TxOcZs/видео.html
No that is the theme song to John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13
@@millerman9991 ha. So bomb the bass sampled it for their 80's track then.. 👍
Yeah that's correct. Someone actually show me that a couple of weeks back. It's the same but it's different if that makes any sense
how do you get US releases to Ireland for example the scream factory Halloween 2 that was in this video?
As far as I remember I picked it up from amazon.com.There's also another company called HD Movie Source that ship to Ireland from the States.
@@millerman9991 ok thanks alot
No problem at all
Elm street needs a 4K release
Would do anything to see Nightmare on 4k. I'm sure it's just around the corner
Should watch Japanese horror movies
Horror isn't just loud and grotesque,
You will know the depth of horror movies💕💕
Unfortunately it's a genre that I just don't like. I could never get into it for some strange reason
prometheus looks amazing on 4K
I couldn't agree more. Great movie aswell
I also thought jaws was amazing on 4K - was it close to making your list
I absolutely agree with you Jaws looks remarkable and the only reason why I didn't have it in the top 10 is because I don't really see it as a horror movie. A bit more of a creature feature movie
Yes agreed . Can save for a creature film list at some point 🦈
That's actually a fantastic idea. I might do that top 10. Thanks again for checking out my top 10. I really appreciate it
Putting yourself in the characters position when you're watching horror movies is the best way to make it scarier. Put yourself in that world.
Hey Todd I honestly couldn't agree more. It's probably why demons freaks me out so much.
A movie that looks amazing on 4k blu ray with Dolby vision and its not a horror movie but its amazing is the northman
Hey David. I've heard some fantastic things about the movie itself and its transfer and I cannot wait to see it. Thanks for the heads up
Only one of those I have is Alien and it does look good.
Hey Christian. Definitely worth checking out the other 9 especially if you are fan of the movies. They all look remarkable
HDR is not only about a wider color gamut. It's also about deeper blacks and much brighter whites, which, of course, gives you many more shades of gray. That's why black and white movies look a lot better in HDR.
You are absolutely correct. But there's no denying when you think of HDR you instantly think of colours. Not that black and white aren't colours but you know what I mean
@@millerman9991 Yes, I've noticed a lot of people think HDR is mainly about enhanced colors.
I saw The Fog in the theater, huge fan of it, my second favorite of John’s behind Halloween, BUT the 4k is a letdown - too dark. The Shout Factory Blu-ray is quite a bit better sad to say.
Hey Jeff you are a lucky man to have seen the fog in the theatre. I never had the pleasure and I'm hoping someday I might get the chance to. Halloween is probably my favourite movie of all time and like I said in the video the only reason why it wasn't in the top 10 was because I felt the 4K transfer was a little underwhelming. So I was trying to be faithful to this top 10. Honestly I have no troubles at all when it comes to the fog and its transfer. There is one scene I can think of when Stevie Wayne is on top of the Lighthouse. That scene looked a little too dark. But other than that it looks remarkable. Everybody's equipment is different.
@@millerman9991 I was 11 and it scared me pretty bad! Watched most of it between my fingers, as my hands were covering my face! Lol
Hey Jeff. I was the exact same hands in front of me the whole time during the movie.
Lately I've been spending a lot of time with this girl I told you about, so I don't have much time left to be on RUclips. Hell, I haven't even bought a single movie in at least three months. The last movies I've bought must have been Baby Driver and Last Night in Soho on 4k Blu-ray, which I've told you about several months ago. I think I bought them somewhere in February or maybe early March, if I remember correctly.
Anyway, today I found some time to watch one of your videos. It's a great list with some fantastic movies. Thanks for the interesting list and video.
Hey Patrick I completely understand and I hope everything is going great with you and her. My RUclips videos are always going to be here my friend and I'm just happy that you actually watch them whenever you have the time to do so. So a huge thanks again Patrick and all the best
@@millerman9991 Thank you so much, Keith. Of course, I'll keep on watching your videos, even if it's with some delay. I still love watching your videos and will watch them whenever I find the time to do so.
Thanks again Patrick and all the best. I really do hope things work out for you
Wish the movie with that opening music came to 4K.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Assault on Precinct 13 comes to 4k
It's already been restored by Deaf Crocodile Films. We just need a distributor.
I just picked up dawn of the dead on 4k from Orbit dvd. It will be here next week.
It's a phenomenal Movie made even more so on 4k. I really do hope you enjoy it Michael
@@millerman9991 I follow Jeff from films at home. He posted a video about it a couple days ago. I ordered it then.
Honestly I can't praise it enough. I'm sure Jeff was very praising of it as well.
@@millerman9991 oh most definitely he was...
The shining DC is actulyl the 2h version. The longer version is fluff Kubrick wanted removed
I did not know that. Thank you for the heads up
I bought my first 4K movie not too long I'll be honest I don't see a difference between the Blu-ray and the 4K my friend said that I need a better cable going to settings and do all this and that I don't know any of that stuff I'm sticking to lure a vivid mode and I'm done
There are so many things that could be wrong. For instance the first 4K movie you bought could Simply Be a very poor 4K disk. Trust me when I say there is a lot of bad ones out there. It also depends on how your television is set as well. You mentioned vivid mode now going by experience that is the last mode you would want to go on to. Everything will look too bright and overblown. Just play with your settings until you find what best suits you and if vivid does that for you then stick with it
There are a lot of factors including size/quality of your screen, how close you sit to it, how you've set it up...and what sort of image you find visually pleasing (highly saturated ? very bright and punchy ? detailed and accurate ? depth in the shadows ?). The biggest factor though is whether or not it's a good disk...not all disks are equal (same with DVDs and Blu-rays). Out of curiosity, what was the "first 4K movie" you bought and are referring to ?
In my experience most modern movies are released on very good quality blu-rays and in those cases, if the distributor has done only an "average job" with the 4K and the viewer already has good upscaling from modern equipment then there might not be much of a visual difference for many viewers...in fact, in some cases (and this is ***highly subjective*** and dependent on personal tastes and equipment being used) due to potential brightness/HDR issues, added DNR, colour grading choices or even (in one case I know of) audio choices...the 4K occasionally comes out worse !
I have (for example) deliberately chosen not to upgrade my OT Star Wars Blu-rays (Anakin on the cover set) and LOTR Blu-rays (Gold box ring set) because I was able to see what Empire/Jedi/Fellowship looked like on my equipment in 4K and I didn't like it...Hoth in Empire looks grey and dull on 4K instead of the bright white/blue tinged Hoth we see on the blu-ray...C3PO's shell on the way to Jaba's palace in Jedi looks richer and more "real" than the sorta "slightly artifical" looking version on the 4K...the forest at the start of fellowship looks lush and inviting on the Blu-ray but has an "ill/sterile" tone on the 4K...all of this is just my opinion ofc...many reviewers have praised these 4K disks.
In general though, the 4K format is technically (and substantially) superior to Blu-ray so if the distributor does "everything right" and they have a good working source that they can get every last bit of detail from then the 4K will be better...sometimes by a little, sometimes by a LOT ! "Temple of Doom" for example (and I assume the other two in the trilogy but I only tested that one) is a MASSIVE upgrade in 4K and well worth purchasing. 1984 Dune is a MASSIVE upgrade on the 4K...as is "True Romance"...and "The Fog" to name a few.
The Exorcist and The Wicker Man (both 1973) deserve a long overdue 4k release.
Thankfully we are getting one of them this year. The Exorcist was confirmed for 4K. I'm sure the Wicker Man should be due a 4K anniversary as well
Wickerman is coming out too but I’ll probably wait for a us release
That Wickerman edition looks absolutely spectacular. I might pick it up.
Criterion is working on the 4k of Night as we speak
Hey Raymond thank you for the heads up. That is great to hear
The original Dawn of the dead is an odd one for me, I like it but it comes off as silly in some areas. Personally I prefer the 2004 remake and I’m not usually a remake guy. I just think the characters were better and had scarier zombies. My top 3 zombie movies are 1. Return of the living dead 2. Night of the living dead (1990) 3. Night of the living dead (1968).
The dawn of the Dead remake is definitely up there with one of my favourite remakes but I honestly could not put it ahead of the original. Return of the Living Dead is an absolute classic and I thought Dan o'bannon did a great job with that. Tom Savini Night of the Living Dead is another fantastic remake and of course the original another classic
@@millerman9991 night of the creeps and children shouldn’t play with dead things are also good. I would throw Re- Animator and Pet Sematary in there but I wouldn’t consider them actual “zombie movies”. They have elements but don’t really fit the zombie movie stereotype but I guess deserve a mention.
Yeah I understand what you mean with re-animator and pet Sematary. Probably the last half an hour of re-animator you would almost put it into the zombie genre. Really is a great movie and I think I'm due a revisit
those advisory logos on the front of the blu ray or 4k cases are brutal. So in your face and just takes away from the art on the front. I think the worst is the Australian "M" logo. Its so big and I can't take my eyes away from it. Just a thought when watching this.
I know they can be quite annoying but I don't really pay too much attention to them if I'm completely honest. But I do know what you mean with the Australian logos. Almost takes a quarter of the cover
That list was shite! I’m unsubscribing. Just teasing, Keith! Great list. The only film I don’t have in your list is Dawn of the Dead. Re: Psycho looking good in 4k, I felt the same about The Elephant Man. It looks so good in 4k. Great video and great list. I may have put The Shining at the top of my list. It looks phenomenal.
Hey David. I had a feeling you would hate this top 10 😆 🤣.
I have to admit Psycho was a real surprise when it came to 4k. I cannot get over how great it looks. The Shining is absolutely stunning. The only reason why I wasn't higher is because I thought the movies head of it were better. All the transfers in this list look remarkable
@@millerman9991 have you seen Anthony Hopkins in The Elephant Man
No I haven't seen the Elephant Man but I have seen numerous reviews on it and it sounds remarkable. Really need to pick it up someday
Halloween 2 is a superior movie
It really is a fantastic sequel. Probably my favourite sequel of all time
Evil dead 2013 is worth 4k
Definitely want to pick it up sometime in the future. Probably one of my favourite remakes
Alien also looks incredible on a 120” screen with a Sony HDR 4k projector! It’s amazing how some highly reviewed transfers don’t stand up when blown up, particularly blurays. What’s the transfer foe Evil Dead 2 like? Does it compare
It's funny that you just mentioned Evil Dead 2 because I only watched it it around 2 weeks ago on 4k and I honestly cannot remember if the transfer is good or not. Not sure if that's a Bad Sign that I don't remember. Something's telling me that it's not as good as the original but definitely don't take my word for that. Honestly I'm normally better than this but I cannot remember
@@millerman9991 if you do get a chance to take a look as HMV have offer on both and I already have both of Bluray. Thanks!
I thought Hellfest was rubbish, I bought it watched it once then sold it
That's your opinion and I respect that. I think it's a fantastic modern horror movie with an amazing setting
@@millerman9991 Love your you tubes, There have been a few turkeys I have owned and think they have a cheek to be called 4k. Galveston was so dark and River runs red was just bad. I do expect better when asked to pay £20+ for a movie
As you know yourself it's part of the collecting game. You're always going to pick up one or two very poor transfers along the way. Thankfully it doesn't happen too often.
Hard disagree on The Evil Dead. They digitally edited out all the technical mistakes that give the movie its charm. I hate that.
I have to admit that would never distract me from this movie. They corrected mistakes and I kind of understand why they did it. But the reason why it's in this top 10 is because it's a fantastic movie and made even better on 4k.
Halloween 2??? Dude????
It's nothing to do with the movie it's the fact that it had a greater leap in quality on 4K over Halloween. Halloween is my favourite movie of all time. But I was slightly let down by the 4K transfer
@@millerman9991
I just stumbled on your channel. Enjoyed the video with the cool premium 4k releases. Like that American Werewolf one looked really nice. Huge fave of mine. I haven’t even gone up to 4k. Still have blu ray but that was a cool video.
Hey Richard. Honestly the Blu-ray format is still a fantastic format and I don't praise it near as much as I should. I have been doing a lot of comparison videos with 4K and Blu-rays and to be honest particularly on the new movies you just don't see a massive difference in quality. There is a difference it's just not a major leap
